Pull x86/microcode changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest changes are to AMD microcode patching: add code for
caching all microcode patches which belong to the current family on
which we're running, in the kernel.
We look up the patch needed for each core from the cache at
patch-application time instead of holding a single patch per-system"

x86, microcode: Cleanup cpu hotplug notifier callback
x86, microcode: Drop uci->mc check on resume path
x86, microcode: Save an indentation level in reload_for_cpu
The following patch makes the microcode update code path
actually invoke the perf_check_microcode() function and
thus potentially renabling SNB PEBS.
By default, CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE is
forced to Y in arch/x86/Kconfig. There is no
way to disable this. That means that the code
path used in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
did not include the call to perf_check_microcode().
Thus, even though the microcode was updated to a
version that fixes the SNB PEBS problem, perf_event
would still return EOPNOTSUPP when enabling precise
sampling.
This patch simply adds a call to perf_check_microcode()
in the call path used when OLD_INTERFACE=y.

Remove the uci->mc check on the cpu resume path because the low-level
drivers do that anyway.
More importantly, though, this fixes a contrived and obscure but still
important case. Imagine the following:
* boot machine, no new microcode in /lib/firmware
* a subset of the CPUs is offlined
* in the meantime, user puts new fresh microcode container into
/lib/firmware and reloads it by doing
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload
* offlined cores come back online and they don't get the newer microcode
applied due to this check.
Later patches take care of the issue on AMD.
While at it, cleanup code around it.

Microcode reloading in a per-core manner is a very bad idea for both
major x86 vendors. And the thing is, we have such interface with which
we can end up with different microcode versions applied on different
cores of an otherwise homogeneous wrt (family,model,stepping) system.
So turn off the possibility of doing that per core and allow it only
system-wide.
This is a minimal fix which we'd like to see in stable too thus the
more-or-less arbitrary decision to allow system-wide reloading only on
the BSP:
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/reload
...
and disable the interface on the other cores:
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu23/microcode/reload
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Also, allowing the reload only from one CPU (the BSP in
that case) doesn't allow the reload procedure to degenerate
into an O(n^2) deal when triggering reloads from all
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/microcode/reload sysfs nodes
simultaneously.
A more generic fix will follow.

Fix up conflicts with 'struct sysdev' removal from various platform
drivers that got changed:
- arch/arm/mach-exynos/cpu.c
- arch/arm/mach-exynos/irq-eint.c
- arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/common.c
- arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/cpu.c
- arch/arm/mach-s5p64x0/cpu.c
- arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/common.c
- arch/arm/plat-samsung/include/plat/cpu.h
- arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c
and fix up cpu_is_hotpluggable() as per Greg in include/linux/cpu.h
This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file,
and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
file, that the merge did not catch.
The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell
<sfr@canb.auug.org.au> who was invaluable in the merge issues involved
with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

Requesting the microcode from userspace *every time* when onlining CPUs
(during a CPU hotplug operation) is unnecessary. Thus, ensure that
once the kernel gets the microcode after booting, it is not freed nor
invalidated when a CPU goes offline, so that it can be reused when that
CPU comes back online, without requesting userspace for it again. As a
result, the CPU hotplug operations become faster as well.

Currently, microcode doesn't unregister syscore_ops after it's
unloaded. So if we modprobe then rmmod microcode, the stale
microcode syscore_ops info will stay on syscore_ops_list.
Later when we're trying to reboot/halt/shutdown the machine, kernel
will panic on syscore_shutdown().
With the patch applied, I can reboot/halt/shutdown my machine successfully.

Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and
shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and
they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this
purpose. This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive
memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for
this purpose instead.
Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use
sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose
suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the
majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their
struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that,
because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler
way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks
use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument
is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c). In all
of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to
using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown.
